I sure miss Bill Watterson. Incredibly good artist and biting humor. He was a treasure. Great find!

I still have a few vintage Calvin and Hobbes books. I’ll keep them until they disintegrate.

I remember that one. I also remember liking it so well that I clipped it out and hung it in my cubicle years ago.
